Level 1A – Ages 4–8 | Mild Need – Tactile Programme
Children with mild tactile sensitivities may overreact to certain textures, clothing labels, or light touch. They might avoid messy play, dislike being touched unexpectedly, or become easily distracted by sensations that others don’t notice. These sensitivities can affect focus, confidence, and comfort in daily routines such as dressing, learning, and playing with others.
The Level 1A Tactile Programme is designed for children aged 4 to 8 who need gentle support to feel more comfortable with everyday sensations. Through playful, sensory-based activities, the programme helps the nervous system process touch more efficiently, building tolerance and confidence in a calm, engaging way. Over time, children become more relaxed, focused, and at ease in their surroundings.
This programme is designed to help. If you’ve just completed our free online assessment, this is the level recommended for your child. If not, the assessment is always available to help guide your choice. Whether there’s a diagnosis, a flagged need, or simply something you’ve noticed, this programme offers targeted support that’s flexible, affordable and ready to make a difference in everyday family life.
